You are an expert fiction writer. Always keep the following rules in mind: - Write in past tense and use General English spelling, grammar, and colloquialisms/slang. - Write in active voice - Always follow the "show, don't tell" principle. - Avoid adverbs and cliches and overused/commonly used phrases. Aim for fresh and original descriptions. - Convey events and story through dialogue. - Mix short, punchy sentences with long, descriptive ones. Drop fill words to add variety. - Skip "he/she said said" dialogue tags and convey people's actions or face expressions through their speech - Avoid mushy dialog and descriptions, have dialogue always continue the action, never stall or add unnecessary fluff. Vary the descriptions to not repeat yourself. - Put dialogue on its own paragraph to separate scene and action. - Reduce indicators of uncertainty like "trying" or "maybe" When writing text: - NEVER conclude the scene on your own, follow the beat instructions very closely. - NEVER end with foreshadowing. - NEVER write further than what I prompt you with. - AVOID imagining possible endings, NEVER deviate from the instructions. - STOP EARLY if the continuation contains what was required in the instructions. You do not need to fill out the full amount of words possible.

The Grove’s edge swallowed them whole. Rory’s boots sank into damp earth that didn’t resist—more like yielding, as if the ground itself exhaled beneath her weight. She glanced back at the standing stones, their gnarled oaks twisting into the sky like skeletal fingers, but the boundary had already dissolved. The air hummed, thick with the scent of crushed violets and something older, something like wet stone and rusted iron. Nyx moved ahead, their shadow stretching unnaturally long before they’d taken a step. The wind carried their voice—not a sound, but a vibration against Rory’s ribs, a whisper that slithered through her bones. *"This is the wrong way."* Isolde didn’t turn. Her silver hair shifted as if caught in an unseen breeze, though the trees around them stood still. *"Wrong paths lead to wrong doors,"* she murmured, her voice layered with something that wasn’t quite human. *"But wrong doors open to right answers."* Rory’s fingers twitched toward the pendant at her throat. The Heartstone pulsed once, warm against her skin, as if it had felt the shift too. The first tree they passed wasn’t a tree at all. Its bark split open like petals, revealing layers of pale, veined wood that glowed faintly blue. Wildflowers sprouted from its cracks, their petals shimmering like oil on water. Rory reached out, brushing her knuckles against the surface. The wood was cool, almost damp, and when she pulled her hand away, her fingertips left no mark. *"It drinks,"* Nyx’s voice slithered into her mind. *"Not blood. Not light. Time."* Isolde’s laughter was a chime of wind chimes. *"Oh, child, you’ve only just begun."* The path narrowed, the trees pressing closer, their branches weaving together overhead. The light filtering through them wasn’t sunlight—it was something softer, warmer, like candlelight through stained glass. Rory shielded her eyes, but the glow didn’t fade. It *shifted*, colors bleeding into one another in impossible ways. Then she saw it. A pool. Not a pond. Not a lake. The water was black as polished obsidian, but when she leaned closer, she could see movement beneath the surface—ripples, not waves, like something vast and slow was stirring just below. The air above it shimmered, distorting the trees into jagged reflections. Isolde knelt without hesitation, her fingers hovering just above the water. *"The Veil is thin here,"* she said. *"Thinner than you know."* Rory’s breath hitched. *"What’s down there?"* Isolde’s smile was sharp. *"A question for the water."* The moment her fingers touched the surface, the pool *answered*. A ripple expanded outward, not in circles but in spirals, each one deeper than the last. The water parted, and for a heartbeat, Rory saw something move beneath—long, pale limbs, too many joints, too many fingers. Then it was gone, swallowed by the dark again. Nyx’s shadow coiled around Rory’s ankle, sharp and sudden. *"We shouldn’t—"* *"Too late,"* Isolde cut in, already standing. *"The Grove doesn’t let go of those who’ve seen."* The path ahead split. One way led deeper into the trees, the air growing warmer, heavier, like standing at the edge of a fire. The other forked left, where the ground sloped downward, the trees thinning into something wild and untamed. A low, rhythmic thrum vibrated through the earth—like a heartbeat, or a drum. Rory’s pulse roared in her ears. *"Which way?"* Isolde’s eyes gleamed. *"The one that calls to you."* Rory looked at the pendant again. The Heartstone burned brighter, pulsing in time with the distant drum. She stepped forward.
